Samantha Ruth Prabhu‘s latest post on the use of hydrogen peroxide nebulisation has not gone down well with a Dr Cyriac Abby Philips aka The Liver Doc, leading to the duo ending up in a virtual war of words of sorts.
After Samantha’s post, The Liver Doc penned a strongly-worded note, slamming the actress and calling her “health and science illiterate.” Reacting to it, Samantha issued a lenghty clarification and referred to the “Liver Doc” as a “certain gentleman” and explained, “I am not naïve enough to go about strongly advocating a treatment.I merely suggested with good intention because of all that I have faced and learnt in the last couple of years. Especially that treatments can be financially draining and many may not be able to afford them. End of the day, we all depend on educated doctors to guide us. This treatment was suggested to me by a highly qualified doctor who is an MD, who has served DRDO for 25 years. He, after all his education in conventional medicine, chose to advocate an alternate therapy.”
In reaction to Samantha’s clarification, The Liver Doc released yet another post on X, accusing the actress of playing the ‘victim card’ and stating that Samantha “is a serial offender in the context of healthcare misinformation.” Pointedly mentioning the actress, his statement read, “Ms. Samantha Ruth Prabhu has responded to my “provocative” criticism of her endorsement of unscientific, pseudoscientific and baseless alternative medicine therapies by playing the victim card and endorsing more alternative practices. Please note, she is a serial offender in the context of healthcare misinformation and she has been in the line of fire previously too. The reason why doctors like me have to spend (waste) time from our busy schedules to fight misinformation online is because it is peddled by large influential “celebrity” accounts that have no regard for public health.”
“Everyone role plays the victim of “scientific criticism” but will keep embracing and holding on to dogmatic views in healthcare, traditional untested observations or debunked dangerous therapies without shame or self reflection. If celebrity influencers really want to impact people positively, then start unlearning and re-learn, develop critical thinking skills, disregard logical fallacies and stand up for medical science instead of “playing victim” of the same science that is helping you, and all of us, survive into the future. I won’t be commenting or debunking any of Samantha’s future endorsements of pseudoscientific alternative public health endangering posts because,” he concluded the post.
